Unfortunately I’m preparing for my 3 weeks working period and will most likely not be home for birth. This is very unfortunate for my wife who’s gonna have to sacrifice her first nights of sleep with the pups, but work is work and that also has to be done to pay the bills, though I rather be present to intervene in case that’s needed. And 4 hands make work lighter after all. But she will have assistance of our daughter during the day (so the wife can take a nap).

We opted to have a natural birth with our veterinarian on stand-by in case things go hairy. I don’t think it’s needed but better safe than sorry. Pandora is healthy and in a excellent condition so she should not have any troubles (unless the pups are huge).
